On April 22, 2014, the International Trade Administration (ITA) of the Department of Commerce (DOC) published in the Federal Register a final rule (79 FR 22371) in an attempt to clarify the status of previously withdrawn targeted dumping regulations. The DOC’s practice regarding targeted dumping has been in flux since December 2008, when the DOC withdrew regulations that previously had governed targeted dumping in AD investigations as expressed in its interim final rule (73 FR 74930) on December 10, 2008. The final rule determined that the DOC would continue to not apply the withdrawn targeted dumping regulations in AD investigations.
